G'day Mike
I need to open Nearmap data (www.nearmap.com) at the cursor's current position.
When I
Download online imagery...
Select online data source to download
Add new source - WMS
I get the following error:
Error getting WMS server capabilities
WMS server GetCapabilities query failed with status code 404.
OGCWMSCapabilities.cpp - 778
Version: v12.02
Build Time: May 12 2011 00:52:07
Is there an easy way to open Nearmap files at the current position, such that I don't need to specify the tiles I need?
Thanks for your help Mike.
regards from Robert, Australia

    I should add that I'm using GM 12.02 on XP 32 bit.

    The Nearmap data using Google Maps-style tile naming and not WMS. Add a Google Maps rather than WMS source and use 'http://www.nearmap.com/kh' for the URL and I think that should work for you.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Works a treat Mike. I'm delighted to be able to integrate Nearmap into my GM work. Thanks! Consider the ticket closed.
